In this set of related pages, we want to record the programs (installable locally or web-based) that are useful to Tech Coordinators and their tech assistant personnel for setup, maintenance, and repair of computers; plus others which may be useful to Lab Teachers and classroom or subject teachers for instructional or enrichment use with their students. This includes some which are in widespread use at CPS schools, along with lesser-known items -- but all of them in actual use and recommended by participants in this Wiki. (Where there is a clear attribution, we do like to record who shared the suggestion with us.)
To keep the wiki pages relatively short and readable, these programs and sites are split among a few pages, along the lines suggested in the above discussion.

Programs and sites for technical advice and reference, and utilities for computer maintenance or lab management. TechCo core!
Large / established instructional, skill-building, and testing-oriented programs and sites. TechCo tips for installation and management.
Smaller or more-particular programs and sites, and those more oriented to enrichment than main-line instruction.
Other documentation and recommendation resources:
Of course there are a plethora of second-order sites offering lists of good programs! But we might mention:
In CPS First Class, suggestions sometimes appear in the District-Wide TechCo discussion area, especially for computer and lab utilities and management programs. Tech Academy schools may also note suggestions in the What's It Called group.
